Do saints, as the Orthodox tradition says, really act as intermediaries between God and people? Is the mysterious “process of communication” really taking place, and how does it happen? What are visions, phenomena, revelations? Why are miracle workers and intercessors famous? Are the blessed madmen or ascetics with the gift of divination? Why did Orthodox saints voluntarily accept the burden of foolishness and why did they enjoy special love, respect and veneration among the people? You will find answers to these and many other questions about Orthodox saints and martyrs in our book.
